The Rooftop A-Team; for all your domestic needs.

We’ve all been there: frantically ‘googling’ and ‘yelping’ looking for qualified people to help you with a nagging honey-do project or a last-minute emergency. It’s good to know that the Rooftop Auction has got your back! We have a plumber, an electrician, a handyman, a Mac expert, a babysitter, a professional organizer and a chef to deliver a home-cooked meal to your home. Together they are: THE A-TEAM! The lucky winner will have these talented and generous Rooftop parents and businesses to come to the rescue. Find yourself with a fun invitation but nobody to look after your little ones? Frustrated as you try to have all your iDevices speak to each other? And what about that faucet that just won’t stop drip, drip, dripping….? Pull out your coupon booklet, call your A-Team expert and help is on the way. Note: restrictions apply (time limits, new parts not included).

One Summer Week in Warm and Scenic Cloverdale

Escape the rush of the big city and stay for a week in a Cloverdale haven. The well appointed home comes with a pool and sleeps up to 12 in a walkable and bikable neighborhood. 2 blocks from downtown Cloverdale in the picturesque Alexander Valley wine region of Sonoma County, just off Northern California Highway 101 about 15 miles north of Healdsburg. With good proximity to urban centers (30 miles north of Santa Rosa and within easy driving distance to Marin County/San Francisco and north to Arcata/Eureka), Cloverdale is evolving as a smart growth city with small town charm. The area abounds with surprises and is surrounded by oak-studded rolling hills, outstanding recreational opportunities, wineries, vineyards and small farms. Wonderful summer vacation spot!

Two Nights at Russian River Home – Monte Rio CA

If you consider yourself to be a true Sonomad (person who embraces the wanderlust of Sonoma Wine Country), you will enjoy this Full Monte Rio getaway (days spent canoeing, hiking, wine tasting and watching the sunset over the redwoods). Even coffeebeings (who you will find hanging out in any of the eclectic Sonoma County coffee shops) can attest that corkhopping (enjoying wine tasting at multiple Sonoma County wineries) doesn’t get much better than this. After two nights in this comfortable Russian River home, you friends will wonder where you got your Bodayglo (the bright and sunny disposition one exudes after spending a summer afternoon on the Sonoma Coast)! INCLUDES 2 Gift Certificates: Lunch at Big Bottom Market in Guerneville and Dinner at Healdsburg Bar & Grill. http://russianriversuenos.com/
